I heard a priest say that Eli/Eloi was a diminutive like "tati" . In romanian we have the word for father - tata , and affectively we say tati, which is also taken as "my father" ..

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth
